Solenoid Valve Block

Refer to Figure 6-4:

IMPORTANT: DO NOT exert more than 3 ft. lbs. of torque on the hex nut securing the solenoid armature. Remember, 3 ft. lbs. is slightly more than finger tight! Overtightening this nut will distort hollow armature shaft and may result in valve break down.

The 1/2" hex nut on the end of the solenoid armature shaft must be removed to remove a solenoid valve from the valve block. Use care when removing and replacing this nut. Do not tighten nut with more than 3 ft. lbs. of torque.

See your nearest Land Pride Dealer to purchase new solenoid vales and/or seal kits.

Cutter Storage

Clean the Rotary Cutter at the end of the working season or when the cutter will not be used for a long period.

1.Store control stick in a clean dry location. Do not leave it out in the rain. Clean control stick with a damp rag. Do not submerge control stick in water or clean with high pressure wash.

2.Clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated on the deck, gearbox and on any of the moving parts. Scrape off compacted dirt from the bottom of the deck and then wash the surface thoroughly with a garden hose. A coating of oil may also be applied to the lower deck area to minimize oxidation.

3.Check blades and blade bolts for wear and replace if necessary. See “Section 6: Maintenance & Lubrication” on page 37.

4.Inspect for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.

5.Lubricate as noted in “Section 6: Maintenance & Lubrication” on page 37.

6.Store the cutter in a clean, dry place. The deck should be positioned on a flat surface with arms retracted and the jack stands lowered to suitable 3-Point height.

Ensure that the main frame is stable. Use auxiliary supports or posts if necessary to prevent the possibility of the unit tipping over.

7.Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust. Aerosol Buckskin touch-up paint is available from your Land Pride Dealer.

Tractor Maintenance

One of the most important things you can do to prevent hydraulic system problems is to ensure that your tractor's reservoir remains free of dirt and contamination.

Use a clean cloth to wipe hose ends before attaching them to your tractor. Replace filter element for your tractor’s hydraulic system at the prescribed intervals. These simple maintenances will go a long way to prevent the occurrence of solenoid valve and hydraulic cylinder problems on the Parallel Arm Cutter.

RCP2660, RCPM2660, RCPM3060, RCP3060 specifications

Land Pride has a longstanding reputation for producing high-quality agricultural equipment, and their line of RCP series rotary cutters, including the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, and RCP2660, exemplifies this commitment. Designed for professional landscapers and farmers alike, these rotary cutters are engineered for durability, efficiency, and performance in managing heavy brush and grass.

The RCP3060 is the largest in the series, boasting a 60-inch cutting width. It is equipped with a robust frame and is compatible with a range of tractors, making it an ideal choice for large-scale property maintenance and land management. The cutter employs a heavy-duty, reinforced cutting deck, which ensures longevity and able to withstand tough conditions. It utilizes a superior blade design that delivers clean and consistent cuts, promoting healthier growth of remaining grass and vegetation.

The RCPM3060, a medium-duty model, also features a 60-inch cutting width but is designed for lighter applications compared to the RCP3060. It incorporates similar build quality but is lighter, making it suitable for smaller tractors while still handling brush and grass efficiently. The integrated slip clutch protects the drive line from damage in case of blade contact with a solid object.

Both RCPM2660 and RCP2660 models provide a more compact solution with a 66-inch cutting width. The RCPM2660 is specifically tailored for medium-duty tasks, while the RCP2660 serves heavy-duty needs. Both cutters promote high productivity and versatility, making them suitable not just for agricultural use but also for commercial landscaping applications. The blades are designed for easy replacement, ensuring minimal downtime during operation.

All models in the RCP series integrate advanced technologies such as a quick-attach feature for easy connectivity, and adjustable side skids to control cutting height effectively. The heavy-gauge steel construction provides enhanced durability and helps reduce vibrations during operation. Furthermore, Land Pride's commitment to safety is reflected in the design with features that minimize dust and debris exposure.

In conclusion, whether you choose the RCP3060, RCPM3060, RCPM2660, or RCP2660, you can rely on Land Pride's RCP series rotary cutters to deliver outstanding performance and reliability, designed to withstand the demands of any landscape maintenance task.
